Genesis 17:4-8

4“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, And you will be the father of a 1multitude of nations.5No longer shall your name be called 2Abram, But 3your name shall be 4Abraham; For 5I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. 6I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and 6kings will come forth from you. 7I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your 7descendants after you throughout their generations for an 8everlasting covenant, 9to be God to you and 10to your 11descendants after you. 812I will give to you and to your 13descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and 14I will be their God.”
